Unblock an order a decision left blocked

POST /orders/{orderId}/decision/resolve

Unblock an order a decision left blocked: one that moved stock in inventory and was then refused before its facts were built, so every command on the order answers 409 OrderDecisionBlocked (and GET /orders/attention lists it under blocked).

Lands what it moved, under the caller's name, in one commit: each unit it dispatched as fulfillment.dispatched, the holds it took and gave back as fulfillment.decision-resolved (a hold taken opens its parcel, fulfillment.shipment-created), and ends the decision; the command it was is not carried out — send it again. 409 DecisionUnresolvable (nothing appended, the order stays blocked) when it moved stock no fact can say, a return or a disposal, listed in movements. Idempotent by state: an order has at most one blocked decision, so a retried resolve finds none and answers the order as it stands, appending nothing.

Access

Requires orders:write.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

Idempotent by state: an order has at most one blocked decision, so a retried resolve finds none and answers the order as it stands, appending nothing.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

fulfillment.dispatched
fulfillment.decision-resolved
fulfillment.shipment-created

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

AI agent tool

No agent tool. unblocking an order lands stock movements nobody's command finished — a person decides it from the dashboard's blocked list, never an agent

Connecting an agent: AI agents.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: fulfillment-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://fulfillment.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`404`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`FulfillmentOrderNotFound` orderId	No such record in this organization.	Check the id in the path or the body.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`DecisionUnresolvable` orderId, movements	(nothing appended, the order stays blocked) when it moved stock no fact can say, a return or a disposal, listed in `movements`.	Nothing changed. Read the record, then decide.
`OrderDecisionBlocked` orderId, decisionId, command, reason	The request was refused. `reason` says why.	Nothing changed. Read the record, then decide.
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Send the same request again shortly.
